Rotten fruit, chemicals and hashy smell.

We gotta sesh this glue when shes done.

Yeah that's the one rotten fruit with a Chem hash taste very nice. Had me go to sleep. That's something I would have right next to my bubba and other indicas.
You already know I'm there just let me know when that glue is dried and ready to test.

Sprayed down the veggers with some 1/4 strength feed.

Bout to try a taste of the tangilope now that it's dry.

Veg update

I see you have some twist cfl's hanging. That's how I roll, I have 4 of the 63 watt (300 watt equivalent ) hanging in a 4 x 4 tent, along with a 4' 4 bulb t5, and a 4' 4 bulb t8 fixture.

Anyway's reporting back with the cloning numbers. Took clones on the 7th. There were roots on more than one variety last night. So 9 days, really 8 days for the very first roots. Haven't lost any out of the 78 cuts I took so far either.

 

[shishkaboy]

Yep I have 2 of those cfls and a 250 hps for veg right now.

Seems like you gotta let the pots dry out at first with the coco. So I decided to foliar feed the veggers a little.

I was thinking I would have to cut the rpsourd for one of the new cuts, but the little bit I sampled has me thinking it will stick around. I am just gonna keep everything on have for now, but eventually I'm sure something will get knocked out of the box.

Right now it's tasting like a lemon candy sour d
Very similar to the deathstar I had in Denver.


Here are a few shots of my favorite smoke soul food a few days in.

I was thinking 9 x 2 gallons under each 600 also. 2 oz per plant would be the goal. Seems very attainable.

Eventually some sort of automated drip system and a res for each light.

I gotta make a comment on how the coco is way more work than the promix. After you soak it you gotta drain all the water out and I dont wanna waste any coco so it took me a while to get it done. Then after I was done I realized that there was a huge glob of sand in the bottom of the container used to rinse the coco.

Lots of stuff done today. Trimming, preparing medium, transplanting, feeding, watering.

I am running out of veg space so I had to throw a kool aid and a mr nice in.

I am right with you there on the 2 gal 9 per 600w, 2z seems doable for sure, I think I have about 12-15 2 gals of premix under a 600 right now, well I have a few tables side by side so some of the plants get good cross lighting, which helps.

yeah the coco can be a pain at the beginning, I get the Canna coco in a bag, its ready to rock right out the bag, super easy. But you have to water that stuff way more than premix thats for sure.

Have you ever read Pico's thread on how to make a drip system, he uses PVC and runs 1/4" lines come to think of it I think his set up was running 9 plants in 1.5-2 gal square pots and pulling 1.5-1.75 a 4x4 (not 100% on this but I think it was around there and I think it might have been 1000w light as well)
I just build these home made DTW tables and then I am planning on running some 1/2" tubing and then have 1/4" feed lines open ended going into the pot. I have a couple like this I am running as a test and it seems to be working really well. gotta love when grow takes care of it self

Glue at 32

Mr nice

Roots

 

[shishkaboy]

Few more glues in today and some rooted clones took their slots in veg.

Also went through and topped everything I could. I am really liking the 1/4 strength foliar feeding for the aero cuttings too. Wish I would have thought of it sooner.

tangilope

 

[shishkaboy]

Ghost and chem 4 both have settled in pretty well. My luck just sucks with sfvs.
One day...

 

[shishkaboy]

Transplanted all the clones I could today but ran out of coco and containers again.
Still a few rooted cuts left of the J5, headband, kool aid, mrnice. Gotta get some solo cups and use these hydroton for a hand fed hydro.

 

[heady blunts]

found my way here from the east coast grower's thread. nice lookin flowers!

 

[Phases]

Hey what headband are you running. Was from seed or did you get a cutting?

I've got the 818 from Cali connection - 5 of 6 pack survived. Have you ran the headband before? Any tips at all? She a heavy feeder? Do you top her? Any insite would be helpful.

Thanks

Pic taken a week ago or so. They are finally starting to take off. Had a bit of a slow start on a couple of them...

 

[shishkaboy]

I just call it a headband for lack of a better name. The package said RP sour d, but with the amount of "sours" in my area, I refuse to call it sour even tho it has the smell.

I am pretty new when it comes to the clone only game. Most of my stuff was created in house or found by a close friend that doesnt post up.

The plant you posted looks to have some pretty broad leaf fingers. I would top it about now. My Bodhi testers are just about that big also and I am topping very soon. Not sure about the feeding tho.

Here is a shot from the first run with her. She came out very chem 91 ish imo.

 

[shishkaboy]

I went through a cut off and foliage that wasnt looking fresh.
I noticed that the chem 4 seemed like it didnt really have many good fresh growing points. After having it this long it should be spitting out some brand new leaves, but I could find only one good spot. So I cut the rest of it off.

While I was doing the same for the ghost I got a little whiff of something familiar and the stem rub says og/citrus all the way.

I should be able to get a clone off of this one pretty soon.

Finally got some kool aid back in the flowering tent

Some of my mr nice keeper at 7.5 weeks

Some Bodhi tester root porn

I am so excited to finally be pulling out all my keepers and running them side by side with some established elites. I really need to see how my selections will hold up.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

[Phases]

Shishkaboy-
Those glues are looking super frosty - what day do you give them the chop? 60-65?

Merry Christmas!

 

[shishkaboy]

Taking her to 70 this first run and will see from there.
Switching to the last bloom booster today. This one is for resin. 9 days of cha ching and 3 weeks of flush.
